So how long until Mad Max is a documentary and not a futuristic sci-fi thing?

$4.46 per gallon sucks.
Cheapest nearby is €2,24 per litre right now. Recommended price will almost certainly break €2,50 per litre tomorrow, but you generally only pay that on prime locations like at highways.
I'm not expecting prices to go down any time soon.

I saw one at about that here today, but was a couple of hours from home and that's about 30p/litre more than average.

@loopback0 The duty on gas is relatively high in NL. This drives many people to fill up across the border, and I suspect this is intentional - gas bought abroad does not count as CO₂ emitted in NL.

That it does. It's just hitting $4 here, but I'm sure we'll be up there pretty soon.

It jumped at me because the previous time I bought gas, barely a week ago, it was $3.79.

Hell no. But it'll soon be as expensive to use synthetic fuel as the dino version.

It's gone up almost $0.70/gallon here, too, since the last time I checked.
Still better than you guys, though.

I read that as "up from almost $0.70/gallon" and thought you're talking about your youth again.

@Zenith This is dumb. I can't reorder the right phone until I receive and return the wrong phone. The one time it would've been nice for shipping to drag its feet it didn't (II'm still waiting on a new wallet I ordered a week ago that was supposed to ship from the next state over).

There's quite a few solutions for that, including for solar (by heating some kind of special salt IIRC).

@ChaosTheEternal said in The Official Status Thread:
Once the original order cancels and refunds, the second "smart phone line access" items are supposed to just fall off.
Took a bit, but this finally happened, though despite the two phones supposedly shipping at the same time, there's a gap of 4 days from UPS tracking as to when they were returned, and got refunded 5 days after the later return.
@ChaosTheEternal said in The Official Status Thread:
This is apparently because the second order hasn't actually shipped yet. The first order I paid with PayPal, which is probably why it got charged "immediately", but with the second being to a card, they're apparently holding off until they actually ship.
So... they still haven't shipped yet, and a clarification: Part of the order was to be billed "to my account" and the remainder to a card.
I sort of figured "OK, since it's billed to my account, maybe they're waiting for the bill to be paid to ship" but my bill became available and was paid on the 5th. Well, that's a Saturday, so their fulfillment center is probably out until Monday. So, Monday came and went, no charge, no info. Tuesday, I went to nip it in the bud and do another call.
In the end, they still seem to be absolutely confused about this other order, despite the partial payment being on my (now paid) bill, but even better, the rep (and apparently their manager) couldn't make a new ticket on my account about said order because something in their system blocked them, so I'm supposed to be getting a call back "within 48 hours" about it where I'm guessing the effort will be to "try to make the ticket again" but no clue why it would work this time if it didn't before.

Status: What are invariants? Why is everything public and nothing enforces any constraints?
I mean, I use POD structs a lot myself when I think the OOP cargo-culting doesn't make sense, but these classes are decidedly non-trivial and modification seems non-local.Some people shouldn't be allowed to code. And by some I mean "most of them".

So, it's is now 72 hours after the call where I was supposed to expect a call back in "24-48 hours". I'm not surprised at the lack of them actually following up.
...
I sure hope the rep didn't mean for me to call back in 24-48 hours, because that definitely is not what was said/what I heard.

Truth be told I would hope that is also similarly un-scarring.

@dcon DST auto-update is just about the only sensible reason for having smart devices around house. On the other hand, Germans figured out 50 years ago how to do that without anything smart.
